Finally got some time to experiment.
This works:

dn: uid=test,ou=People,dc=advocap,dc=org
changetype: modify
add: objectClass
objectClass: kolabInetOrgPerson

add: kolabHomeServer
kolabHomeServer: mailtest.advocap.org

add: kolabInvitationPolicy
kolabInvitationPolicy: ACT_MANUAL

The blank lines are required.
I real program would be better.
I'll look into it.
At the moment am doing an ldapsearch to get the dn entries and then use 
awk to add the attributes.
Crude but works.
